The dreaded deed happened this morning, I somehow nudged my watch off of the kitchen table and it fell face down.

I immediately hacked the movement and then called the Dallas RSC.

C'est la vie...

The Libertine · 17 July 2014, 03:17 AM

OUCH! That is one of my biggest fears; doing exactly what you did.

Good luck with the repairs.

Kyu · 17 July 2014, 03:18 AM

I'd cry

And sweat st night with whimpering nightmares

I'll pray with u while she goes to Rolex emergency room

jdmi32 · 17 July 2014, 03:18 AM

Ugh. Sorry that happened. Hope you get it back on your wrist soon.

MonBK · 17 July 2014, 03:22 AM

happens, it will come back looking like new.

REFZ · 17 July 2014, 03:23 AM

Sorry to hear that.
Was the crown unscrewed when it happened?

REDiesel · 17 July 2014, 03:23 AM

Ouch.

Johny · 17 July 2014, 03:23 AM

sorry to hear it tim. perhaps a positive might be to try for a a/r Cyclops crystal if you fancied one. johny

AS1 · 17 July 2014, 03:23 AM

tile floors are evil!

ltmgeller · 17 July 2014, 03:25 AM

Off to the Rolex Dr. Good luck.

T01 · 17 July 2014, 03:25 AM

Yikes! Sorry to see that happened.

14060m · 17 July 2014, 03:25 AM

So sorry

mannyv11 · 17 July 2014, 03:26 AM

wow that sucks. Well at least RSC will make it look like new again =)

SoonerTA · 17 July 2014, 03:34 AM

The exact same thing happened to me with my GMT II. Immediately a sick feeling in the bottom of your gut!

Sorry, RSC will make it perfect again...for a price

CostaLudus · 17 July 2014, 03:36 AM

Wow. never seen that happen before. Sounds like an expensive repair. I just felt a little sick in my stomach.

Keith1 · 17 July 2014, 03:39 AM

What kind of crystal is on it Tim?

Sorry it happened to you.

No, I did that to hack the movement.

Who knows, maybe I'll have a new Sub-C on August 6th!

Time to wind up the GMT.

brandrea · 17 July 2014, 03:51 AM

Wow that looks like it dropped from a serious height! Hard to believe it simply dropped from table. Hope the repair restores things back to new!

jamesbondOO7 · 17 July 2014, 03:56 AM

Cheers!

Onikage · 17 July 2014, 03:59 AM

Tragic. Hopefully you've resisted the urge to even the score with a hammer..

iWally · 17 July 2014, 04:01 AM

i think i cried a little just looking at that! if that happened to mine i'd have a heart attack!

eeh100773 · 17 July 2014, 04:08 AM

I know someone who had hers drop from the bathroom vanity onto tile floor in a hotel. Same result. She got it back looking like new. Good luck sir!!

landroverking · 17 July 2014, 04:09 AM

Sorry, I wonder what would have happened to plexi?

I can tell you: nothing. It happened many times with my 16030. It scratches but never breaks.

AK797 · 17 July 2014, 04:25 AM

That's it, I'm double carpeting the whole house!

lipjin · 17 July 2014, 04:27 AM

Except for the bathroom, wood or carpet for me. My Rolex does not come off my wrist anywhere near a tile floor.

TimeToWatch · 17 July 2014, 04:35 AM

Ouch!!!! At least you hacked the movement immediately...good luck

Eric Chan · 17 July 2014, 04:46 AM

Ouch. Hopefully that does not happend to anyone else. That one would really hurt.

Wllnv19 · 17 July 2014, 04:51 AM

Ouch, guess it's not safe to drop a watch on tile, I'm sure it will come back good as new
